Information about Chersky Range
The Chersky Range is a chain of mountains in northeastern Siberia. It generally runs from northwest to southeast through the republic of Sakha and the oblast of Magadan. The tallest mountain in the range is Peak Pobeda, which is 3147 meters tall. The range lies on the boundary of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.[1]
The Chersky range is located near the Verkhoyansk Range and the Indigirka river basin.
The range is named after Ivan Dementievich Chersky (originally Jan Czerski), a Polish soldier, geographer and geologist who studied Siberia in the 19th century after being exiled there for taking part in the January Uprising.
The Chersky range sits atop a fault line separating the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. The Chersky mountains, along with the neighboring Verkhoyansk, have a moderate effect on the climate of Siberia. The ridges obstruct west-moving air flows, decreasing the amount of snow storage in the plains to the west.
